Welcome
We're not The Onion! Not affiliated with them in any way! Not operated by them in any way! All the news here is real!
The Rules
Posts must be:
- Links to news stories from...
- ...credible sources, with...
- ...their original headlines, that...
- ...would make people who see the headline think, “That has got to be a story from The Onion, America’s Finest News Source.”
Comments must abide by the server rules for Lemmy.world and generally abstain from trollish, bigoted, or otherwise disruptive behavior that makes this community less fun for everyone.
And that’s basically it!

Yep. Thanks to this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/TAS2R38
Essentially researchers have figured out some of us got a double dose of the ability to taste bitterness. We're not just being babies when it comes to not eating some vegetables. They literally do taste vile to us. I don't like coffee, dark chocolate, beer or wine either.
Hell just the smell of broccoli or brussel sprouts makes me gag.
